Seems like you're getting a lot of criticism for this, a lot of which I have to agree with. Writing valid JSON is extremely simple and unfortunately it's hard to see how this project would do anything besides promote bad practices for a near-universal format.

Suggestion: turn these criticisms to your favor. Make this into something that promotes good form. Perhaps by acting as a compiler that transforms your forgiving JSON into valid JSON. Make a command line utility. Emphasize how the output passes JSONlint or something. In other words, I'm suggesting that you remake this into a sort of coffeescript for JSON.

In any case, the path you are on isn't gonna garner much support. Change up your stride a bit and you could be on to something rather nice, though.
